About Sun Certified Programmer & Developer

I am a computer science student gonna graduate very soon,I am think about to take the SCJP and SCJD exam, are these certifications persuasive in software industry for companies?can this help to get a better job easier?

OT: In the US do you need some qualification to call yourself an (Software) Engineer.Depends on the company that you work for. Some companies wouldn't call you an Engineer if you didn't have an Engineering degree. Some would, if that is your role.
For Software Engineering, you don't need a Professional Engineer (PE) license (don't even know if there is one for Software yet). For Civil Engineering, you don't always need a PE license, but it really helps for you to get one eventually, if you hope to get contracts.

Does sun certified programmer really matter?

Hi,all. i am a first year uni student in Australia, currently doing B.Comp.Sci. i am just wondering how the importance would be while seeking for programmer job, if i'm a sun certified programmer. i just couldnt really make up my mind whether to spending time on passing the certified programmer test or i'd better put my efforts on improving my programming skill and extending all sorts of computing knowledges. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

'A few' meaning some, not all. I do know a guy who
just got his certification purely to get his foot in
the door of a company, who was very very good. My
arguement is that the exam does not indicate a
excellent programmer. As you for discouraging someone
from finishing University, where did that come from?
or are you simply plaing devils advocate?Ok, I was unnecessarily harsh. I've seen a lot of postings in this forum knocking the Certification process and discouraging people from following it. These seem to be posted by people who have not been through the exams and are commenting based on either a limited sample or a perception about certifications in general.
I have been through the process, with Java & other technologies, and also believe that in the main it is pointless. However, I think that I'm commenting with some authority having actually seen the questions asked and undergone the 'learning-experience' of the process.
The point about the degree was that when I first came into IT, as a fresh-faced graduate, it was still relatively uncommon for developers to have a degree of any sorts, let alone in a related subject. Most had learnt 'on-the-job'. They would take every opportunity to make the point that they'd met 'Grads' before & that they'd always turned out to be crap.
POINT: I've met certified programmers that are crap. Not all certified programmers are crap. I've met graduates who couldn't find their arse with both hands. Not all graduates are muppets.
CONFESSION: I think that I may be subconciously looking for a fight today. Must locate the Lithium soon.

Sun Certified Associate vs Sun Certified Programmer question

I took the practice tests, which I admit might not mean much, but I easily passed the SCJA practice test and failed the SCJP practice test.
I'm admittedly new to Java so I didn't expect to pass either to be honest but it does have me wondering what is the point of the SCJA certification?
It just strikes me as it would be a piece of cake to pass and as a result might not mean much job-wise while at the same time it's cost is close enough to the SCJP to completely ignore it or am I missing the point of the SCJA cert?

I think that jwenting didn't get the idea behind SCJA exam...
SCJP is a technical certification. It is meant for programmer. People who spend their days at work coding solutions that has been hand out by their managers/analysts.
SCJA aims to give Business analysts(BA) and projects managers(PM) an overview on Java technology. Yet we are in the year 2007, but there are still many companies that have not switch to OO applications. In order to convince your customer the use of a technology, you must know the basic of "how it works?"
BA does not need to know all the detail about the size of "int", how to write a java class, or what is a .jar file. But when they talk to their customer, they have to show the customer how java technology will benefit them...
You must keep in mind that BAs and PMs are people who represent your company in front of the customers. If they can't ensure the customers that your company know what Java technology has to offer, the customer won't buy your solutions.
One more thing that you have to keep in mind, BAs and PMs don't always have programming background. Most of them have management skills and master the business they are working for. They spend more time getting update on solutions instead of geek-ing with how to code in a specific language. This being said, SCJA could be a pretty hard exam for them.
Just think of yourself passing a Finance specific exam, versus your BA who master the financing aspects...
Bottom line,
How useful SCJA is for programer/developper? the answer is not much... an exam to rip your money
How useful SCJA is for BAs and PMs? I can tell you that it is very useful! why would BAs/PMs care about the visibility of a variable?
Hope this help your understanding on SCJA vs SCJP

Exam 310-025 - SUN CERTIFIED PROGRAMMER

I would to know how hard is the exam.
I took a short Java Course, but am mostly self tought. (Got a lot of help from this fourm and www.codeguru.com), read a few books, but nothing to actually say that I can program in Java.
Can you recomend a study giude, preferably with practice tests? Maybe a good website with free practice tests?

may be you could pass. may be not.
some question in SCJP is just little details that you may not use when you are writng real program (you can look it up when you are writing apps, you can compile your code an see if it work, but you can't do that when you are taking SCJP test). so better be real prepared.

Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD)

The Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD) certification targets information regarding Java components related to distributed applications, specifically Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs). To achieve this certification, the candidate must pass a computer-based test available world-wide at Prometric test centers.
SCBCD 1.4 exam covers Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) version 1.3 code, including EJB version 2.0.
As of 2008, the SCBCD covers the Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) version 5 code, corresponding to EJB version 3.0.
The pre-requisite for this certification is that the candidate should be a Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 Platform (any edition).
SCBCD for J2EE version 1.3 is now no longer offered (starting February 2008). However, the upgrade exam from SCBCD for J2EE version 1.3 to J2EE version 5 is still available.
310-090：Sun Certified Business Component Developer for J2EE1.3
It comes from blog.killtest.com

Team,
#1: I understand that this is Sun's Training / learning / Certification forum, which I believe is a good place to ask such a question. I believe the answer would be beneficial to a few more people than me.
#2
I do understand the true nature of the examine. Application Design, Patterns, UML - an Architects view of a project. But the test requirements also states a few item that differ in EJB 3.0 over EJB 1.1, 2.0, 2.1 - for instance::
Section 4: Enterprise JavaBeans Technology
* List the required classes/interfaces that must be provided for an EJB technology.
* Distinguish Session and Entity beans.
* Recognize appropriate uses for Entity, Stateful Session, and Stateless Session beans.
* State benefits and costs of Container Managed Persistence.
* State the transactional behavior in a given scenario for an enterprise bean method with a specified transactional deployment descriptor.
* Identify costs and benefits of using an intermediate data-access object between an entity bean and the data resource.
Section 5: Enterprise JavaBeans Container Model
* Explain how the EJB container does lifecycle management and has the capability to increase scalability.
I have recently passed the Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD), and work in an EJB 3.0 environment. I wish to the certification to reflect the current technology.
If there is someone more appropriate to ask or place to ask, please direct me to the resource. Thank you.

yes, that's the only decent book covering most of the exam curiculum (but NOT all of it, check the exam specs versus the book content to know what you are missing).

Dry, boring stuff most of it.
